Class Description:

In this course, we will read literary texts from diverse backgrounds written in the nineteenth-century and after. While works written by American or British authors are not entirely excluded, our focus is with authors of other national origins and their engagement with English and literatures written in English. This course will cover texts originally written in English as well as texts that gained currency within the Anglophone world through translation. As we read a text in the broad light of imperialism and postcolonialism, we will examine issues of race, gender, and class at work in the text within specific historical and political contexts.

Through close readings of these texts, we will examine questions related to concepts such as "third world," nationalism, difference, representation, and displacement.
Class Description:

In this class students will be exposed to literature from a wide breadth of geographical locations, including but not limited to: Zimbabwe, Kenya, India, Haiti, The Dominican Republic, Nigeria, and Jamaica. We will read not only novels, but also poems and short stories depicting aspects of daily life, politics, and history related to the "third world." In addition, we will determine the usefulness of such terms as "first," "second," and "third" world and how these classifications/categories came into existence. What is the "third world?" Where is it located? Who occupies the places? When, why, and how were these places termed "third world?" This class aims to challenge and redefine what we call the "third world" by exploring literature that engages with themes of imperialism, racial/ethnic identity politics, capitalism, citizenship, etc.

The Arabic Novel: The course covers the development of the novel in the Arabic tradition, from the Arabian Nights (the Sindbad Cycle) until 2011.

The course includes authors such as Taha Hussein, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz, Tayeb Saleh, Hanan Sheikh, Ghassan Kanafani, Emile Habibi, Nuruddin Farah, and others. Many nationalities are included, along with two films that demonstrate the globalization of Arabic narratives. The course ends with novels by Arab Americans with a focus on the role that they and others are playing in the development of a unique literature in English.

Class Notes:
This course is completely online in a synchronous format. The course will meet online at the scheduled times. In this corse, we'll discuss key concepts of World Literature and diverse forms of writing across time periods, places, and genres. We'll begin with Bocaccios' Decameron, a collection of stories told by narrators practicing social-distancing during the Black Plague. Readings will include: 1) Poetry (The Inanna hymns of Enheduanna, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Kamau Brathwaite's The Arrivants, and Matsuo Bashō's haikus) 2) Prose and Novels ( Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows, Cervantes' Don Quixote, Alejo Carpentier's The Kingdom of this World, Naguib Mahfouz's Midaq Alley, Shahrnush Parsipur's Women Without Men, and Bama Faustina's Karukku) 3) Plays (Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman, and Rabindranath Tagore's Chandalika).
Class Description:

In this course, we will read literary texts from diverse backgrounds written in the nineteenth-century and after. While works written by American or British authors are not entirely excluded, our focus is with authors of other national origins and their engagement with English and literatures written in English. This course will cover texts originally written in English as well as texts that gained currency within the Anglophone world through translation. As we read a text in the broad light of imperialism and postcolonialism, we will examine issues of race, gender, and class at work in the text within specific historical and political contexts.

Class Notes:
This will be an introduction to world literature as well as training in the basic methods of literary study. We will discuss classic problems confronted when one reads literature from other cultures originally written in languages other than English. We will focus on reading literary texts in this course, and mastering some of the classics of world literature - books that have influenced many generations of thinkers and writers but that, oddly, are not typically covered in any college curriculum We will read three lengthy classics (an epic, a novel, and a long poem) and short prose fiction. Our readings will likely include the poetry of Wislawa Szymborska, the Babylonian epic, Gilgamesh, Dante's Inferno, Melville's Moby-Dick, the short stories of Lu Xun, and one poem by the Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish. This course is completely online in a synchronous format. The course will meet online at the scheduled times.

Class Description:
While it is impossible to cover all of "world literatures" in a single semester, this course aims to provide an introduction to Anglophone literatures in the "global periphery," focusing especially on formerly colonized countries. We will read a number of novels written in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, examining the historical context of their composition and analyzing their relationship to American and British literature. Particular attention will be paid to how these texts address questions of nationalism, language, diaspora, and personal identity. We will also consider a number of different theories of world literature from a variety of disciplines -- history, economics, linguistics, sociology, and literature -- to shed some light on the benefits and complications of using this term. Texts considered will be originally written in English by authors from Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, but will also consider works from other areas that fall under the rubric of English-authored texts outside the U.S. and Britain.

Class Description:

In this course, we will read literary texts from diverse backgrounds written in the nineteenth-century and after. While works written by American or British authors are not entirely excluded, our focus is with authors of other national origins and their engagement with English and literatures written in English. This course will cover texts originally written in English as well as texts that gained currency within the Anglophone world through translation. As we read a text in the broad light of imperialism and postcolonialism, we will examine issues of race, gender, and class at work in the text within specific historical and political contexts.

The Arabic Novel: The course covers the development of the novel in the Arabic tradition, from the Arabian Nights (the Sindbad Cycle) until 2011. The novel has proved to be an excellent medium in which Arab authors, writing in Arabic and in English, have engaged with politics, religion, and social change. The course includes authors such as Taha Hussein, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz, Tayeb Saleh, Hanan Sheikh, Ghassan Kanafani, Emile Habibi, Nuruddin Farah, and others. Many nationalities are included, along with two films that demonstrate the globalization of Arabic narratives. The course ends with novels by Arab Americans with a focus on the role that they and others are playing in the development of a unique literature in English.

Class Description:
In this course, we will be looking at Anglophone literatures worldwide, with the noticeable exception of authors from the United States and Britain. As we look through these texts, we will consider the intersectionality of texts authored in English but coming from some places both currently and previously colonized by European powers, as well as texts from authors who have adopted English as one of their literary languages. Particularly, we will examine issues of race, gender, class, sexuality, as well as other aspects of identity that play a role in the works we study. We will study texts primarily from Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia, but will also consider works from other areas that fall under the rubric of English-authored texts outside of the US and Britain.

Class Description:

In this class students will be exposed to literature from a wide breadth of geographical locations, including but not limited to: Zimbabwe, Kenya, India, Haiti, The Dominican Republic, Nigeria, and Jamaica. We will read not only novels, but also poems and short stories depicting aspects of daily life, politics, and history related to the "third world." In addition, we will determine the usefulness of such terms as "first," "second," and "third" world and how these classifications/categories came into existence. What is the "third world?" Where is it located? Who occupies the places? When, why, and how were these places termed "third world?" This class aims to challenge and redefine what we call the "third world" by exploring literature that engages with themes of imperialism, racial/ethnic identity politics, capitalism, citizenship, etc.

Class Description:
The literature of the Third World often gives us a window into the identity struggles faced by writers who fight the shock waves of what Ngugi Wai Thiong'o refers to as colonial "culture bombs," weapons that devalue anything produced by the culture of the colonized, and favor the work and history of the colonizer. This post-colonial (or "neo-colonial") literature offers insights into the ways in which colonialism and imperialism operates and manipulates its subjects, as well as whether and how these subjects can re-assert independence and agency in their own lives. In this course, we will examine literature in English from all over the world, including the Middle East, India, and Africa, interrogating the post-colonial spaces that each text occupies.

As this is a writing-intensive course, students should expect to submit multiple drafts of major writing assignments and participate in in-class peer reviews and conference sessions aimed to improve their writing ability.

Colonialism, emigration, economics, war, famine, and slavery have worked in combination to make English a language spoken in almost every region of the world. The legacy of these forces is an international Anglophone literature that addresses issues such as displacement and difference, representation, poverty, nationalism, syncretism, and the fight for freedom. The voices that speak to these issues are varied and impressive and students will engage closely and critically with texts of multiple genres from Anglophone Africa, South Asia, and the Caribbean, discovering how the tools of oppression can be used strategically to dismantle the "master's house" and build other houses in its stead. This course will introduce questions raised by the interaction of the "First" and "Third" worlds and create, inevitably, questions about history, politics, social science, and how language operates in the so-called "Third World."
